As much as we liked our Audi test car, we couldn't help but feel that the seven-year-old design was beginning to feel dated.

So for 2017, Audi will release the fifth generation the sedan, and, at first glance, it looks fantastic and still boasts all of the A4's traditional charm and style. At the same time, the new car will also incorporate many of the newfangled features we loved on Audi's more recently released offerings.
